Troy Shambhala in November

Dear Troy Shambhala,

Days are darker and uncertainty is pervasive. November is a ripe time to appreciate the simple joy of gathering together. Let’s sit and feel our integrity and strength. Sitting is from 6:30-7:30 PM, every Thursday night, as usual. And do join us for the following extras after sitting:

November 1: Group dinner in downtown Troy

—————————————

November 15: Audio or Video teaching from the Shambhala Buddhist tradition

November 29: Sept 25: Group Book Reading – When Things Fall Apart, by Pema Chödrön

Mission

Shambhala is a global community of people inspired by the principle that every human being has a fundamental nature of basic goodness. This nature, our innate wisdom, can be developed so that it benefits our own lives and helps meet the many challenges facing the world.

Shambhala welcomes people from all walks of life, faiths, and backgrounds. They come together to practice meditation, gather, and celebrate in order to develop a global culture that cultivates dignity and sanity in an increasingly chaotic and stressful world.

Shambhala is a not-for-profit organization funded by donations from its members and supporters, and by program fees. Troy Shambhala is operated by volunteers only.
